“The list of those who must await the revenge of the Iranian people,” read the headline.

“This is not just a newspaper story,” said Konstantin von Notz of the Greens.

“Such naming of individuals in an Iranian newspaper most likely does not happen without approval, or even direct orders, from the mullah regime,” von Notz said.

He described the death threats as a new level of escalation in relations with other countries.

However, the list itself does not currently represent an immediate new threat to the chancellor, who is already “extremely well protected,” von Notz said.
